If You Would Be A Reader Read If A Writer Write

If you wish to be a writer, write.

“Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world...enabling us to converse with the dead, the absent, and the unborn, at all distances of time and space.”

A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.

If you would judge, understand

“Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.”

Whatever you are, be a good one.
